About

Transforming supply chains.
Driving sustainable growth.

I've spent the last 10 years working in procurement and global supply chains — managing suppliers, navigating delays, fixing inefficiencies, and improving margins. One thing has become very clear:

Many businesses are losing money and time due to avoidable supply chain issues.

So I've decided to take a step in a new direction. I partner with businesses to transform and optimise their supply chains, improve operational efficiency, and unlock sustainable growth.

With hands-on experience across global procurement, offshore manufacturing and supplier management, forecasting, demand planning and logistics, I've seen how inefficiencies, misalignment, and poor planning can directly impact profitability and performance.

I work closely with businesses to identify these gaps, reduce costs, and build more resilient, scalable supply chain operations.

What others say

One of Ashleigh's most notable contributions was leading a comprehensive data clean-up initiative, which laid the foundation for a more structured and efficient procurement function. She went on to develop and implement procurement policies and standard operating procedures from the ground up, transforming the department from an ad hoc operation into a well-governed, process-driven function.

On rare occasions in business, one is lucky enough to work with people who are intelligent, hard working, productive and a delight to be with. Ashleigh immediately became part of the senior management team, was involved in decisions far wider than her direct responsibilities and while locally dealing with associates was heavily involved in dealing internationally with suppliers, occasionally having to travel to foreign lands.

Ashleigh is a pleasure to work with. She is diligent, logical and dedicated. Our warehouse and distribution ran smoothly under her management.

Practical strategy.
Hands-on execution.

I assist with procurement transformation — helping organisations rethink and strengthen their sourcing strategies, improve supplier relationships, and implement smarter, more effective purchasing processes that deliver long-term value.

My approach is practical and collaborative. Where needed, I work alongside industry experts and trusted partners to ensure the best possible outcomes, bringing in the right expertise to solve complex challenges and elevate results.

I support businesses with trade management, helping navigate the complexities of international supply chains — from compliance and documentation to duties, shipping, and cross-border logistics — ensuring operations run smoothly and efficiently.

Ultimately, I combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, working with businesses to turn complex supply chain challenges into clear, actionable solutions.
